Felix Fietkau 0bb5d39b7a mac80211: add minstrel fixes that fix mt76 issues in legacy mode
Remove deferred sampling code which does not work well with rate tables +
probing.
Fix tx status handling if the first invalid rate idx is not set to -1

Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel: fix tx status processing corner case
Some drivers fill the status rate list without setting the rate index after
the final rate to -1. minstrel_ht already deals with this, but minstrel
doesn't, which causes it to get stuck at the lowest rate on these drivers.
Fix this by checking the count as well.
